I have implemented a point to point DDR interface (200MHz) using series resistors located in the middle of the data traces. I have seen the same app note you speak of requiring the trace lengths to be less than 2in, which seems to work well in my application. =20 However, you describe a DDR interface consisting of 4 devices. This is not point-to-point as the devices will share data lines. This interface should be simulated. -----Original Message----- From: si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Aric Hadav Sent: Tuesday, July 13, 2004 11:24 AM To: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SI-LIST] DDR point to point termination Hi, I'm designing an embedded system with DDR. I'm using a CPU connected to an=20 on board four 16 bit DDR devices (no DIMM). I have 2 questions though - 1. can I use only a series termination on the data bus (I saw a few AN that=20 state that if the disctance between the controller and the DDR IC's is upto=20 2" its ok). has anyone did it with a 200MHz clock ? 2. since the address and control lines operate in half the data rate and the=20 DDR controller is very lightly loaded (only 4 chips) can I use only series=20 termination for address and control ? has anyone did it with good resaults ? thanks, Aric _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.
